Our new life as a family is like walking down a garden path. Beyond every bend are new sights and sounds. It is a beautiful place! Join us as we walk through life with our beautiful little girl whom we adopted from China.

New School Pictures

Probably the best yet! I can't decide if I like the smile or the smirk!

"I look at my daughter and usually I see a laughing, happy, healthy child. But sometimes I look at her and I see a thousand layers, a depth I will never visit, and a memory I humbly respect but cannot share. Her heart beats a thousand years story, with the blood of China, and a history in her short life more vast than mine will ever be. I owe it to her to never forget. I owe it to her to protect the fragile pieces of her story until the time comes for her to claim it. "From http://www.camimei.blogspot.com/

We witness a miracle every time a child enters into life. But those who make their journey home across time & miles, growing within the hearts of those who wait to love them, are carried on the wings of destiny and placed among us by God's very own hands.--- Kristi Larson

Live your life in such a way that when your feet hit the floor in the morning, Satan shudders & says... "Oh shit....she's awake!!"Stop telling God how big your storm is!And instead tell your storm how BIG your God is!"Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out & loudly proclaiming--WOW--WHAT A RIDE!"I would rather live my life as if there is a God and die to find out there isn't, than live my life as if there isn't, and die to find out there is.
